    Oak trees are most likely included in any description or picture of Savannah. That's what makes up…read morethe charm of this city, coupled with the Spanish Moss draping over the oak's large canopy and it makes even the not-so-nice parts of town, still so pretty! Candler Oak, however is a special oak tree. It is one of the oldest living landmarks in Savannah and os estimated to date back to around the 1700s. Thankfully, in the 80's, a group of citizens formed a group when the tree was at a risk of dying and have made great efforts in keeping this tree alive and protected. History was made when the group obtained the first conservation easement on a single tree. - Parking - Street parking. - Location - It's located right next to Forsyth Park, on Drayton and E Gaston Street, on SCAD's Ruskin Hall's property. There is an iron gate that surrounds the tree that is kept under lock and key. You can't get past the gate. As we visited it today, there were a group of workers, repaving the cement walls that surround it from the street. It looks like the cement walls have slowly collapsed over the years and there were quite large cracks to the foundation. The information board is also contained inside the gated area. According to the board, the last time they measured the tree was in 2003 and it is as follows: Diameter - 65 inches Circumference - 17 feet Height - 54 feet Width of the canopy - 110.25 feet - Fun facts - 2001 - Designated a Georgia Landmark & Historic Tree 2004 - Placed on National Register of Historic Trees Tip: There is actually a Dot bus stop right in front of it and Dots are free to ride in Savannah. If you're walking around Forsyth Park, it's definitely worth going over to the end of Forsyth Park to see this beautiful tree.

    I was walking back from Forsyth park when I discovered this magnificent oak tree located on the…read morecampus of the Savannah College of Art and Design. The Candler Oak is believed to have taken root in the early 1700's before James Oglethorpe arrived in Savannah in 1733 and laid out the city. It is 300 years old making it one of the oldest trees in Savannah. The tree is 54 feet tall, 16.85 feet in circumference, and the crown spread is 110 feet. This tree has witnessed a lot of Savannah's history. The surrounding land around the tree was a seaman's hospital built in 1803. In 1819 a poor house and a hospital was built on the land. In 1854 it became the headquarters of the Medical College of Georgia. During the Civil War it became a Confederate hospital named Camp Davidson. In 1863 stockades below the tree held Union prisoners of war. General Sherman seized the hospital in 1864 when he arrived in Savannah and used it for Union soldiers. From 1930 until 1980 it was the Warren A. Candler hospital. By the 1980's, the Candler Oak was sick from years of pollution and construction. It was given a life expectancy of only 20 years. The Savannah Tree Foundation was formed in 1982 to protect the Candler Oak and the other trees in Savannah. The group made history in 1984 by getting the first conservation easement of a single tree in the nation. Huntingdon II, Ltd. purchased the building and donated the easement to the Savannah Tree Foundation so they could care for the tree. In 1985 asphalt was removed over the trees roots. In 2001 the tree was designated a Georgia Landmark and Historic Tree by the Georgia Urban Forest Council. In 2004 it was named added to the National Register of Historic Trees. In 2012 the Savannah Law School purchased the property and restored the historic buildings and set aside four parking spaces around the tree to protect it. Today the Candler Tree is regularly visited by arborists who have judged the tree to be in good health and it is expected to last for the next century. A fence now surrounds the tree in order to protect it.

    Haunted Square…read more There are 22 of these "Squares" in Savannah. Squares are like parks. One of them is Wright Square and it was one of the original four squares to be laid out in Savannah's Historic District. The Square is named Wright Square in honor of Sir James Wright, the last Royal Governor of (the Province of) Georgia. Two monuments reside on Wright Square. Not a military person but one of the monuments honor the life and achievements of a wealthy and influential railroad tycoon named William Washington Gordon I. Yup, there he stands in the center of Wright Square. The other memorial is that of Tomochichi, a Yamacraw Indian Chief. The memorial is actually a huge boulder of Georgia granite located in the Southeast side of the square in memory of Tomochichi. He assisted James Oglethorpe in the establishment of the Georgia colony and was buried in Wright Square in 1739. The ghost of Tomochichi (allegedly) still resides in Wright Square. Located on Bull Street between State and York Streets, bordered by courthouses and other historic buildings, it is one of the oldest of the City's squares... and haunted! But then most of Savannah is haunted like the true story of Alice Riley, the first woman to be sentenced to death in Savannah in the hanging tree! I always find it interesting to find out the history of these places! In the daytime it looks like a normal park... oh, if you only knew the haunted stories behind this Square. Review #1853

THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD AT A PASSPORT OFFICE. Desiree was sooooo helpful and cheerful. There was no wait at all.

The first thing you encounter is the "No Nonsense" Security. They ARE NOT messing around. If you are a visitor from out of town, this can seem incredibly off putting. They don't care if you are a tourist, they don't want to make your stay in Savannah the best it can be. They want to get you the heck through security safely. Be ready. Don't expect service with a smile. Second, the person responsible for our marriage license did seem to be a joyless bureaucratic machine, but we did get our license completed with no fuss or muss. The person after us was there to renew his carry permit and he also went away with what he came for. In-between we had some random person who wanted to ask "A quick question". She disallowed this to continue to focus on the business at hand and directed them to someone who was not involved in an activity. So while I don't disagree with Karen D's assessment, I think they do provide the customer the service they arrived for, they just rarely do it with a smile.
